The enclosed email from CCD-world subscriber Tim Puckett raises an
interesting point - how do we feel about "advertising" on CCD world?
In this particular case, Tim has a (single) CCD to sell and CCD-world 
seems an obvious market, but he has been very courteous and checked first.
Personally, I am quite happy to see such messages on CCD-world, since 
the aim is to spread as much information as possible around our small 
but disparate community. Moreover, I know that many of us are very 
interested keeping up with any and all sources of science grade devices.  
Consequently, I would even encourage the several vendors who subscribe
to announce new products or services via CCD-world.

On the other hand, I am quite sensitive to "spam" and junk email and would do
my best to discourage it.  However, I do not think that I would put 
the occasional "classified ad" or announcement of a new product into 
this category.

If anyone objects to this policy, please let me know.

	Cheers,

		Tim

Subject: Site Chip
Status: RO

Dear Dr. Abbott, 

I wondered if you know of a medium by where I might be able to sell a grade
1 Site chip I have on hand.  I have a camera that uses the Site SIA502A with
the on board TEC and am satisfied with it's performance.   I also purchased
a grade one SI-502AB sensor and would like to sell it for a reduced price.
At this time I can not accommodate a chip without an on board cooler.  The
chip is still in it's container and has never been opened,  The factory seal
is still in place. 

I am on your CCD world list and would not dare post such a thing. I thought
you might know how I could sell the chip I have on hand in a more private
manner.  

If your time allows and you have any suggestions please advise...

Best regards

Tim Puckett
